Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 250 g cherries
  • 1 grapefruit(s), pink
  • 100 ml apple juice
  • ½ liter of water
  • 100 g cane sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp jelly, e.g. B. Currant jelly

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 15 minutes

Peel the grapefruit so that no white pith is visible and cut out the segments. Collect the juice and set aside. Bring the water, apple juice, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil, add the cherries, and simmer for about 4 minutes. Stir in the jelly and add the grapefruit segments and juice. Simmer for another 1 minute. Pour the compote into a bowl and let it cool. It tastes wonderful with baked semolina slices, for example. You can also make the compote with canned cherries, but only bring the cherries to a boil briefly, otherwise they will become too soft.
